Warranty & Returns

Here at VE, we're all vapers ourselves, and we understand how frustrating it can be to receive a faulty device, so we've streamlined our returns process to make it faster and more efficient for you.

READ THIS FIRST:

Vaping gear can sometimes be complex and confusing to use unless you've done your research, so make sure you've Googled the problem you're having and read as much as you can about how to operate your device.

Start with simple troubleshooting steps to begin with - for instance, if your mod won't fire, try changing the batteries (if they're replaceable), try using a different atomiser to eliminate the possibility that it's actually your atomiser that's faulty, and try turning the mod off and on again.

Please note that;

Unlabelled or otherwise unrecognisable return packages will delay the returns process. We have received a few returns with no identifiable personal information, which obviously makes matching to a customer quite difficult!

If the item is in good working order and we're unable to detect any problems that would require a refund or replacement, you'll need to pay a return shipping fee of $8 in order for us to return your hardware to you. If the item is faulty and we send you a replacement, we'll cover the cost of shipping.

If you've read all of the above and you've performed troubleshooting on your device and your problem still persists, you can fill in the returns form by clicking here to begin the returns process. Please read this form very carefully and ensure that every single field is filled out and that you follow every instruction exactly as it appears! If you submit this form incorrectly, or neglect to follow each step, we may not be able to process your return in a timely manner.

If you have any questions about the product returns process, or want to follow up on an existing return request, contact us at returns@vapoureyes.com.au

Warranty

A warranty may only be claimed where proof of original purchase is presented, i.e. original purchase receipt or invoice. Under Australian consumer law in the event of a warranty issue you are responsible for the return postage of the product to us.

Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

The guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law (“ACL”) are provided in sections 51 to 59 inclusive of the ACL (“Statutory Guarantees”) and the remedies are provided in sections 259 to 266 inclusive of the ACL (“StatutoryRemedies”).

Liquids: As our liquids and concentrates contain food grade ingredients and are considered consumable, we do not allow returns at this time. Please keep in mind that taste is subjective! While we hope to please your taste buds, we cannot guarantee their satisfaction.

Coils / Clearomisers / Atomisers: With a DOA policy of 36 hours on atomiser coils, we do not offer a standard warranty on these items as they are considered consumables (designed to be used and thrown away after a certain amount of time)- please keep in mind that coils must have adequate e-liquid in the wicking material ("primed" with e-liquid) before firing to ensure the coil doesn't "burn out" - we cannot replace coils that have not be correctly used, sufficiently primed, or used at incorrect wattages, causing burnt wicking material.

Batteries - As batteries are consumable items, in the case of an item dead on arrival (DOA) we will happily replace a faulty battery within two weeks from the purchase date (14 days)

Vapoureyes or the manufacturer will determine, at no cost to the customer, whether the product is faulty and the cause of the fault within a reasonable time frame. In the event of a fault and if the product is determined faulty through no fault of the customer, then the customer can request an exchange, credit, or refund of the original purchase price.

As the product cycle in the vape industry is quite rapid with new products being released all the time, our standard procedure is to credit the purchase price back into your account so you can purchase any new device that you like. If the amount is less than the $50 free shipping threshold, we will additionally credit your account $8 to cover return shipping costs to you (up to total value of $50, our free shipping threshold).

Alternatively, customers can request repair free of charge in accordance with the manufacturers warranty.

Time of fault:3-12 Months

VAPOUREYES or the manufacturer will determine, at no cost to the customer, whether the product is faulty and the cause of the fault within a reasonable time frame. In the event of a major failure or minor defect and if the product is determined faulty through no fault of the customer, then the customer can request repair free of charge by an approved manufacturer’s repairer.

If the goods cannot be repaired within a reasonable time frame the customer can request that Vapoureyes replace the product. Vapoureyes will then replace the product with a new or used product of the same brand that has similar features. In some circumstances (such as catastrophic failure) the provisions under the ACL may still provide for an automatic replacement or full refund of the original purchase price.

Time of fault:12+ Months

Whilst individual circumstances may vary and the law is uncertain, the policies set out above are intended to provide you with remedies that Vapoureyes believes in most circumstances to be consistent with your statutory rights under the ACL in the event of breach of a Consumer Guarantee relating to faulty products.

However, these policies are in addition to, and do not limit your rights with respect to, the Consumer Guarantees or any other rights and remedies that you have under a law in relation to the goods sold by Vapoureyes.

If you are not satisfied with a remedy under the Vapoureyes Minimum Voluntary Warranty Policy you can discuss your concerns with a Vapoureyes Store Manager who is authorised to provide an alternative remedy where appropriate.

If the store manager believes that the Vapoureyes remedy is adequate but you are not still satisfied that your ACL rights are being appropriately observed then you can submit your concerns in writing to our ACL Warranty Claims Officer by completing our contact form for further consideration by Vapoureyes.
